Handmade jewelry from upcycled Starbucks gift cards

I grew up in a family that loves to collect and create. I went to many garage sales, estate sales, and flea markets looking for little treasures to rescue and restore. So when my sister told me she collected Starbucks gift cards and asked if I would keep an eye out for new cards in my travels it piqued my interest. I went on the internet and googled Starbucks gift card collecting and I discovered that there were websites devoted to collecting these cards. I quickly learned which cards were rare and common, and how to grade the quality of the card and the value. As I studied each card's history and unique artwork I was inspired to create a line of contemporary jewelry that would highlight the essence of each card. After much research and effort I have acquired a large collection of used Starbucks gift cards that were headed for the landfill and are now the focus of my upcycled jewelry line.

I love turning trash into treasure. This line of jewelry is colorful, fun and good for the environment. If you are a Starbucks card collector this is the perfect way to wear your collection....and if you are not a collector you will be 'charmed' by the colorful and whimsical images in this unique line of jewelry.
